People often cringe at the thought of off-the-shelf eLearning content; many believe off-the-shelf courses are full of generic content, are difficult (or impossible) to edit and will never fit into organizational goals.

Although off-the-shelf eLearning courses aren’t ideal for everyone, they do have their advantages in many situations. Read on to learn the five ways off-the-shelf eLearning content can help your organization.

Fits into smaller budgets

We’d all love to have infinite resources to spend on our learning program, but that’s not the case for most of us. Off-the-shelf content enables you to create an eLearning library without investing into custom eLearning content development or creating the courses internally.

Quick response to urgent requirements

Do you have an urgent requirement for training? Have new regulations come in, meaning you need to train your staff immediately? Off-the-shelf courses are ready-to-go and cover over 200 topics, so they’re perfect for urgent requirements.

Any team in the world will tell you there are times they’re at maximum capacity, and can’t take on any more work. If that period of maximum capacity coincides with the really urgent requirement mentioned in point two, then you might find yourself struggling to meet deadlines. However, off-the-shelf courses are a great way of easing that pressure, providing ready-to-go courses in an instant.

Easy to personalize and edit

Yes, you read that right. Off-the-shelf courses from Rapid Course are easy to edit and personalize. That’s because when you purchase a course from Rapid Course you not only get the eLearning course, you get the source file too. Meaning you can make any edits quickly and easily in Articulate Storyline.
